    Wildchild regurgitated dialogue from a scene from the Austin Powers movies, I think the second one?. I do like that scene though, very funny. :)

    I don't give a fuck what you think. I've lived in Canada more then 50 years and was part of a fairly significant immigration from the UK back then. I've been schooled in Canada, had a long career in Canada, raised a family in Canada, and never left Canada other then for a week or two at a time. And I don't call recent immigrants any less Canadian then I am, if the intent is to stay here long term and they have roots here. This is the Canadian spirit, not what you are selling.

  3. Seriously, WTF is wrong with you? This need to be “better?” I assure you that you are not. Forget your ancestors. What have YOU done to deserve ANY acclaim? What makes YOU better than any other American or resident? I’m guessing not much, otherwise you would not be desperately sucking your own dick here. You remind me of Trump and his daddy issues. Never good enough, so his survival depends on convincing himself that he’s “better.” He’s not, of course. He arose from the same mutant gene pool you did.

    Yep, I can quote most of that scene from memory. I have several Belgian friends.

    America was damn near empty until very recently.

    1492 - 1620, nothing happened except a lot of indigenous died from diseases.

    1620 - 1830 more not a lot really. Then things start to pick up as tech and people came in from Europe (China etc. a bit). Peeps go on about the constitution and great vision of the founders but it was never stress tested until 100 years ago and is breaking down in areas predicted over 200 years ago due to the rise of fat and stupid nativeists.

    That said, 1st gens don't usually have a clue.

    Unfortunately these guys think acquiring a citizenship makes them something without doing anything in their own lives far beyond eat, sleep and excrete.

  7. Except that the OP thinks that if he got his citizenship sooner, or if his parents got there sooner, then he is worth more than someone who came later. Anything to establish some element of distinguishing self worth, however desperate.

    So for him, even recent citizens are not quite good enough. He’s going next level.

    If you don't do it yourself as an adult it does not count.

    Wow after how many tries you actually got something correct. Maybe you should focus on learning to trade instead of watching Austin Powers movies.

    BTW, how much did you lose on your prediction that the VIX was going to be at 50 by election day?
